Philippe's book East West Street was the most recent I have read that I genuinely had real difficulty putting down - I had to eventually as I really needed sleep, but that was the only reason! A remarkable story around extraordinary links between the likes of Lauterpacht and Lemkin, each an iconic figure in my area of law but with significantly different approaches (personally, I have always been in the Lauterpacht camp).
